"Pigs (Three Different Ones)" Recreated

  • My project this summer was a faithful recreation of this song from Pink Floyd's awesome 1977 album "Animals." Years ago I similarly re-recorded "Dogs" (on 8-track tape!) - this time I wanted to do a full video treatment. Stove Clock plays keyboards.
    Gear:
    Atlansia Stealth bass, recorded direct
    Ibanez Roadstar II guitar (effects: Line 6 POD, AmpliTube, Electro-Harmonix Small Stone phaser)
    "Talk box" effect is an old Walkman earpiece wrapped in plastic and pumped with a loud signal from the POD
    Roland V-Drums
    Univox Maxikorg analog synth
    SampleTank organ & piano sounds
    Shure SM-58 & SM-57 dynamic mics (the latter inside a toilet-paper tube)
    Yamaha SPX90 reverb, circa 1986
    Assorted Pro Tools delay, compressor & limiter plug-ins

    • @TeamMastaPr2
      @TeamMastaPr2 10 років тому +1

      What blows my mind even more is the fact that he sings while playing the bass line, even when Roger Waters just played rhythm guitar on the original track as the bassline was played by David Gilmour.

    • @K31TH3R
      @K31TH3R 2 роки тому

      After many years of delineating, and having plenty of songs I absolutely love from many very different genres, I have also determined that this is my definitive favorite song. To me, "song" almost seems like a much too simple term for what this is. Songs are things I put on in the background of life for ambience, I simply can't do that with Pigs, no matter how many countless times I hear it, it always captures my complete focus.
      I also partook in a little experiment and synced the original to this recreation (with a high end DAW PC) and found that, sonically, this is about as perfect as you're going to get. The tones are reproduced SO well and this guy absolutely nailed that aspect in nearly every single sound, it's an incredible achievement. But I also learned that the pacing of the recreation is not anywhere near as accurate as the tones are.
      I'm not sure if the pacing changes were intended by the creator, and probably much to the chagrin of the creator, I was very happy to find out the pacing is slightly off, because I now know the original recording has subtle timing changes, and those subtle timing changes are very likely what makes this piece of music so "attention grabbing."
      While I definitely applaud the creator for showing so much love to the original recording, I found that this recreation just made me crave to experience the original again.

    I see I'm already subscribed, but I'm surprised I haven't commented on this already. You must have done something else as equally impressive!
    Love the guitar "swells" and the talk-box solo! Also like the leads that are tonally different, like in the A blues section. Though not as rough in tone, they fit your version nicely.
    Damn good singing, too. It's not an easy vocal, pretty high-pitched for a man, and that falsetto _"cry"_ is quite a feat. The ways in which you sound different are fine. I want to know, are you using three mics for your vocals, and why? I would have liked to hear the original delay setting on _"charade you are",_ but it's cool.
    The drumming is great, I love the stereo spread, and they sound as good as an acoustic set. A lot of guitarist/bassists can play some keyboards, but drums, no way! You're an excellent bassist, BTW. I think the original, though fretless, was played with a pick, but fingerstyle gives you much more dynamic control, so kudos!
    The first rhythm guitar part was doubled on the original, giving it more "balls", and I would have advised you to do the same. Also, the ending solo could have been mixed louder, a bit more dirty and reverb'ed, but your actual playing is pretty much flawless, certainly better than I could do. I wouldn't have minded the song going on longer!
    _Animals_ is my favorite PF album, and this is the warmest-sounding song on it ... and you've nailed both the accuracy and "heart" of it! It's quite an accomplishment, and I would love to see Gilmour or Waters react to it. I think they'd _have_ to give you thumbs up!

      Who played that bass solo live? I know Gilmour recorded it in the studio version.
